my first post on my own message board.... it's about registry acces

didani

for anybody who wants to acces the registry to WRITE whatever in it, yoou can use the api32.dll. or, you can use the easy way in and use regedit. from inside your program. how? let me show you:

open "temp.reg" for output as #1
print #1, "[REGEDIT4]"
print #1, " "
print #1, "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft_
WindowsCurrentVersionRun]"
print #1, chr(34) & "myevilapp" & chr(34) & "=" & chr(34) & "_
c:\windows\system\myevilapp" & chr(34) 'that's right: \ instead of
close #1
shell "regedit /s temp.reg"
kill "temp.reg"
